Garrick’s Feed Curator Project Exposed
Ed Kohler just broke the low security around my all-but-secret project: cullect.com. “To me, this looks like a community based RSS reader where you’ll be able to read RSS feeds that are recommended to you by your friends.” – Ed Kohler Ed, you’re close. More background on the project here. New screencasts forthcoming.
FeedHub: HAL, er MAPE, Filters Your Feeds
Graeme pointed me to FeedHub – another next generation feed filtering service. On first glance, it reads like FeedRinse – import a bunch of feeds, apply some filters, drop the resulting aggregated feed into your regular reader.

If you’ve been reading my twitterings over the past week or so, then you’re already read this stuff. I’m posting it here to include it in the FeedSeeder category archive fer later. “…there are only very few instances where unsub’ing from a feed makes sense.” “@swirlspice – exactly. the real issue is how always find …
Unread Bug
“Unread counts now go to 1,000, so that you can know just how far behind you are when you come back from vacation.” – Google Reader WTF? Telling me there are a 1,000 new things in the world is a feature? Hell, where’s the count of all the people I haven’t met, all the foods …
What’s Better?
In 10 minutes, everything will have an RSS reader built into it; email clients, browsers, audio/video/image players, phones, every single website. Each application parsing and presenting feeds in a way that’s contextually appropriate. I hope. If you want a ‘good enough’ general purpose feed reader, use Google Reader or Bloglines, or Newsgator, or or or …
First Invite Out, 20 To Go
Over lunch today, I sent out the first invitation to the FeedSeeder project. This is the first real test of the system and I’m anxious. Despite the edges being very rough, the functionality is in there. Finally. Enough to: 1) talk about 2) start polishing. Since I’ve been working on this project about 10 of …
